We have opened our blog to our Vineyard key leaders to give them an opportunity to share what God has placed on their hearts. This week, Deral Carson, who co-leads the Marriage Ministry with his wife Leslee, asks us, ‘Where is your marriage going?’ We all know God has a plan for the “individual”, but […]

I’m going to tell you a little bit about myself that I don’t like to admit. I am a very, very stubborn person. I really don’t like to admit that I am wrong. I’ve gotten a lot better at admitting it over the years; when I first met Tim, I just couldn’t get the words, […]

We are, as pastor Conrad said during last week’s sermon, in a liminal space. Liminal spaces are transformative and transitional spaces, when one thing ends, but […]

Last night at the Leadership Community Zoom meeting, Pastor Conrad asked us all what God has been doing in us during this season of isolation. I’d like to take a moment to talk about something that God has been doing in me (and many other church leaders). This period has been difficult for me in […]
